Dave Parker broke a tie with a homer in the eighth inning and Richie Hebner followed with his fourth hit of the game, leading to an insurance run, as the Pirates defeated the Braves, 8-6. The Pirates used homers by Hebner and Bob Robertson to help build up a 6-3 lead before the Braves rallied to tie the score in the seventh.

Darrell Evans doubled and Dusty Baker followed with a homer. Earl Williams singled and was forced by Cito Gaston, who took third on a wild pickoff throw by Dave Giusti and scored on a single by Marty Perez. After Parker's homer in the eighth, Hebner singled, advanced to second on a sacrifice and scored on a single by Rennie Stennett. [The Sporting News]
